Busy girl

Dear Caylee,
You have had a very busy few days. On Tuesday you got to leave school early to go swimming with Debbie. You started swimming at about 3:30. Later a few friends joined us there were lots of kids there for you to play with. You did stop for a little while to eat and jump on the trampoline, but for the most part you were in the pool until 8:30 at night. That’s an hour past your bedtime! You were very tired and went right to sleep… after a small fit.

Today is the 4th of July. We went to the beach with Debbie. You had a great time playing in the sand and the waves. You started getting pretty tired about noon. You walked up to me and said “mamma hode ju” (mamma hold you.) I held you in the beach chair and you slept and SNORED for the next hour. When you woke up it you were very sweet. You gave a big smile as you looked at me and said “hi mamma.” I love to hold you. You are getting so big I know I won’t be able to hold you like that too much longer.

After the beach we went to Debbie’s for more swimming! You played in the pool and had a great time. You are not afraid of the water at all. You like to put your head under the water and blow bubbles. You are so brave that it scares me sometime.

Tonight was all about Dora. You learned about Dora at school and we are starting to realize how much you like her. Tonight you wore your new Dora P.J.’s, played with your Dora doll and watched a Dora cartoon before bedtime.

You are getting pretty particular about going to bed lately. First you just wanted your blanket, but over the last few weeks you have been adding things to your list of things you want to have with you when you go to sleep. Tonight we are up to blanket, pink lantern light, Sydney doll, plastic Nemo fish, Dora and several small, stuffed Backyardigan dolls. There is not much room in your bed for anything else.

It’s back to school for you tomorrow. You will probably still be tired from your very busy days. You have been doing so good at school going to the potty. On Tuesday you had dry pants all day long!!
